The final withdrawal of UN personnel and equipment is set for November 15, 2024.
Deployed in 2013, MINUSMA played a crucial role in stabilizing Mali during a period of significant security challenges. The mission supported peacebuilding efforts, protected civilians, and facilitated the delivery of humanitarian aid.
The accelerated liquidation process, made possible by close cooperation between the UN and the Malian government, marks a significant milestone in the country’s journey towards peace and stability. As MINUSMA departs, the Malian government assumes full responsibility for the country’s security and governance.
Mali continues to face significant security challenges posed by extremist groups. The country’s government will need to address these challenges and work towards sustainable peace and development.
